Pedagogy of the Oppressed: 30th Anniversary Edition Quotes

“With the establishment of a relationship of oppression, violence has already begun. Never in history has violence been initiated by the oppressed. How could they be the initiators, if they themselves are the result of violence? How could they be the sponsors of something objective whose objective inauguration called forth their existence as oppressed? There would be no oppressed had there been no prior of violence to establish their subjugation.”

As these authoritarian relations between parents and children intensify, children in their infancy increasingly internalize the paternal authority.”
